Dr. Hunter Handsfield answered

Specializes in Infectious Disease

A loose helmet is not likely to cause injury or headache. Are you sure he's telling you everything? Might he have fallen and struck his head? If so, he should be medically evaluated, e.g. at an urgent care center.

Specializes in Pediatric Allergy and Asthma

Please follow up with urgent care or the pediatric emergency room. Watch for signs of dizziness, vomiting and imbalance and new findings. Headache is common with a mild concussion. Keep your child well hydrated. A virtual consultation with Healthtap is available.
